The chances to get paired with one specific random individual are pretty super small anyway. I never stopped playing and never had any issues.

Today I hit a new low in Splatoon where the game wouldn't let me finish matches. Disconnects usually in the first 30 seconds, over and over. I'm honestly considering just dropping the game. It's so rare for me to conclude a play session feeling good. Usually I'm more on the angry side. Even if I have a while of cool matches with friends, it inevitably goes bad. What's the point?

You know, I tried to stream Splatoon last night. And I didn't get disconnecting, there was just lots of waiting to get a match starting. I haven't had fun with it in since the first month.

Any german Splatoon lovers here?

The Halloween Splatfest theme is upon us:
Hocus or Pocus.
Trick or Treat.Ghosts or Goblins.
These are some of the impossible decisions that have plagued Halloween fanatics since the dawning of time. However, the most heated debate has always been Pirates vs. Ninjas.
Join us on for a very spooky Splatfest that aims to settle the score. Is it better to dress like a pirate? (You can use your new parrot friend to justify getting two pieces of candy.) Or is it better to be a ninja? (You can sneak up and steal your own candy! They’ll never see you coming - or going.)
Join us at 9 PM PT on 10/30 to settle this score the only way we know how - BY GETTING REALLY, REALLY INKY.
BEE TEE DUBS, beginning with this Splatfest the multiplier for wins has updated from 4 to 6. Good luck, Inklings!
Not gonna lie, this one is a legitimately difficult choice for me.
-
I'll probably go with pirates because it's green and also because fuck Japan in Splatoon XD
-
Awww. I was hoping to have black vs. orange ink. Ah well. Go pirates.
-
@Mr.:
Pirates vs. Ninjas would've been cool.
Dreams do come true!
Going for Pirates on this one, but the lime green couldn't be more out of place.
-
-
So I played with Noqanky this weekend for the first time since the patch. I had that amazing moment where a Dynamo Roller hit me and I survived. Whoa is this still Splatoon!? Also fuck the N-zap buff.
-
The squelcher buffs piss me off the most. Because they needed more help …
Also, japanese splatfest: Love vs. Money
Obvious answer is obvious. Meanwhile in the states I'm going Pirate because when the question was phrased as "Tetra vs. Sheik", the answer to me was clear.
-
Wow, that would be a hard decision for me. I'd probably decide with the help of color.
-
Hmmmm…Are we talking about love between a man and a woman or between a man and a nice cigar?
-
-
People expect you to use money for food and sustenance, but they chastice you if you use love.
-
I became the Pirate King, but I couldn't find the One Piece =(
-
!
That explains a lot. I fought more Ninjas than Pirates, and I was a Ninja, so yeah… Apparently from what I've heard, most of the Ninja teams were utter crap, but I didn't have that much of a hard time. Got a real nice winning streak going at the end, won several 3v4s.
!
But yeah, this marks yet another defeat for me, got a win rate of 1-6 haha. I think for the next Splatfest, I'll choose the team I don't want to be on.
-
Wow I've never seen such a big gap in terms of wins. You have to assume it's mostly random statistically but… I guess not? Can we really say there was a majority of unskilled players siding with ninjas? That's kind of interesting.
Also that's quite a streak there Ouro. Exactly twice as high as mine (though knowing you it's because you played for way longer).
-
idk how you people have such stupid winning streaks. Winning various matches in a row just means that the next match I'll get disconnects or impossible lag.
makes comment about how lolsy easy it is to walk around with an octoshot to feel better about herself

I didn't see that much of a skill gap between the two teams but the win rate says otherwise, not to mention that the win rate keeps getting more skewed through recent Splatfests. My guess is that the more dedicated players who really want to win looked at the previous results and waited until right before the Splatfest started to see which team would be more popular under the assumption that there's an inverse correlation between popularity and win rate, thus ensuring the less popular teams win more… Kind of a self fulfilling prophecy, but that's just speculation on my part.
-
How do you see which team will be more popular? Is there some way to check? O_o
-
That makes no sense to me …popularity could also just mean more random people joining that team but not playing that much, so the question is really which team it is MORE dedicated players choose.
-

I think people look at the number of Miiverse posts for each team, or swing by Splatoon communities online and see which team is more popular if they really want to know.
-
So Ninjas was more popular but the players have been pretty lousy overall? Narutards :ninja:
-
These results remarks me of how One Piece is little popular in the West.
-
Yoooo why is no one talking about the new stage? The museum is GREAT.
-
The museum is pretty cool. I personally think the best layout for it is the one they use for Tower Control though. Not to mention that the mode itself is an incredible blast on that stage. Splat Zones on it is appalling. Turf War is fun but it's also a giant mess due to all the spinning going on.
Anyway this weekend I had a lot of spare time so I went full masochist and played Ranked for hours. Overcame untold mountains of bullshit to finally get to S rank. Yay XD
-
You get a Hydra Splatling. And YOU get a Hydra Splatling. EVERYONE GETS A HYDRA SPLATLIIIIIIING*
*tonight at 6 PM PT. The Hydra Splatling is slow to charge but powerful, so avoid using in close combat. Every Hydra Splatling comes with Splat Bombs and an Echolocator.
As a fan of Splatlings and long-distance stuff in general, I'm pretty psyched about this one. Not too crazy about the Splat Bombs/Echolocator set up, but given we get one later with Sprinkler and Bubbler, I'm definitely hyped to try it out and see how it compares to the Heavy Splatling I'm used to.
-
FYI Treehouse is hosting a Splatournament and it's starting now (you can view it on Nintendo's Twitch etc).
-
They'll be showing off the upcoming new map, Mahi-Mahi Resort during the tourney.
-
Just watched the first match. The players are utter, utter, inexcusable garbage at the game. Not sure if I'll keep watching.
For reference it was Tower Control and one team took the tower and rode it directly to K.O. And their strategy? Splattershot Jr. builds up bubbler, jumps on tower and activates it IMMEDIATELY, then just sit there. Literally. Uuuugh.
-
Yup, nothing improving here. Now we have snipers who spend 30 seconds killing someone who is stupidly standing in the open. Also the production quality is frustrating. Very uneven mic levels and the camera wasting a lot of time showing all 8 players standing in front of their screens which is so fascinating <_<
-
those nicknames..
-
Mahi-Mahi Resort will go live tomorrow afternoon.
-
So did the tournament conclude? I lost interest and left. I find it funny that they're releasing a new stage and holding a Splatfest on the same weekend that Xenoblade Chronicles X is releasing. It's almost like they intentionally sabotage themselves.
-
Yeah, it ended not too long ago. Bill's team barely won.

The way I see it they wanted Splatfest to feature both new stages. Plus whatever other stage gets chosen.
Probably will look up the recording of the tournament out of curiosity of just how bad this is.
-
Watch the Splatfest not include any new stages. XD

Next european splatfest: 12.12.15
Pineapple or no pineapple on a pizza?Whoever thinks of those topics.. I want his job.

You'd probably do a much better job honestly.
-
I know, that's why I want the job.
-
I've had that pineapple on pizza discussion with people before and it gets really heated.
Those weirdos who don't like it are very passionate in their hating. :ninja:
-
I'm kinda weird about it.
I don't rly like pineapple but I like pizza hawai. I pick out the pineapple but I wouldn't want it without cuz I kinda like the pineapple aroma?So I have no idea which one to vote.
And on that note, yes, by the middle of next week, I. WILL. HAVE. SPLATOON.
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgitshappeningomgomgomgomgfinallyomgomgomgomg -
Splatfest results are in!
-
WOOHOO!!
I had some beef with the fact pizza would be more popular, but I stuck with burgers nonetheless!
A job well done everyone =D -

This is actually an amazing topic. It's really strangely polarizing. I like Hawaian pizza but some people really hate the idea of pineapples on pizza for some reason.

Soooo… I'm an official squid now!
ID: SabsyX
feel free to add me!But.. yes, I'm a complete noob lol.
had to turn off motion control cuz it was wayyyyy too confusing for me.
-
Suffer for a couple of hours and learn the motion controls… it's worth it >_<
-
noooooo >___<
seriously, with motion control, best I can do is run in circles lol -
But that's almost as good as is humanly possible when you don't use them. :ninja:
Well, I can't really judge since I did the same thing, and spent months with crippled controls. Though it was primarily due to getting dizzy.
